Hello, Dollys! — New Faces at Banowetz + Company

Leon Banowetz is a big Dolly Parton fan. Always has been. Always will be. And now the walls of B+Co feature a framed collection paying homage to the Queen of Country. A designer on our creative team, Lily Smith+Kirkley was one of the illustrators participating in a 2015 print exhibition featuring 35 Dolly portraits by some of the nation’s finest printmakers. The project, created by Margot Ecke of Smokey Road Press, was titled “Tease it to Jesus” — a nod to Dolly’s big... hair — and showcases a wide variety of illustration styles and print processes. Check it out here or the next time you stop by the studio. What can we say but “Dolly, we will always love you.”

Get to Know Dallas Market Center: New ad campaign for Dallas icon

Most people around Dallas are somewhat familiar with Dallas Market Center, the huge wholesale trade center just off Stemmons Freeway. But there’s a lot more to what goes on inside the 5,000,000-square-foot facility than meets the eye. And as part of a new campaign we recently completed for DMC, we’re sharing insights from those who best know what Dallas Market Center is all about — the buyers and wholesalers who work with DMC on a regular basis. The new testimonial-based ad campaign, which features images shot by award-winning photographer Justin Clemons, helps readers get to know this Dallas icon in an up-close-and-personal way.

Wrapping Up NorthPark's 50th Anniversary

Over the last several months, the 50th anniversary celebration of our client, NorthPark Center, has kept us quite busy. In addition to the ads and in-center pieces we normally produce at any given time, we’ve been working on a lot of commemorative items and event materials related to the festivities that have been taking place since their actual anniversary, which was August 19. From letterpressed invitations to silk-screened T-shirts (available for purchase at the NorthPark Concierge Center), it’s made for a great body of work. Here’s a showcase of some of the finished pieces. Enjoy!
